Notes

Microfilm of original records in the National Archives, Washington, D.C.

The 1860 census was filmed twice. The second filming (2nd) is listed first and is usually easier to read. However, since some of the records were faded or lost between the first and second filmings, search the first filming (1st) whenever the material on the second filming (2nd) is too light or missing.

To order a microfilm, you need to know the microfilm number. Again, to obtain the microfilm number, see the Film Notes section. Before ordering microfilms or microfiche, please check the Notes field. Any restrictions on the use of the item will be mentioned there.
